    The fact that this information has gotten out is intentional on the part of the US. They are hoping that people knowing about it applies pressure on Ansarallah from people/parties that were not part of or aware of the things offered.

      I don’t think anyone outside of yemen can actually apply any kind of pressure on ansarallah. That’s only possible from the inside, and I don’t think anyone INSIDE would want to put any pressure on them.

      Yemen is pretty unanimous with the blockade

        I’m not saying that there are people outside of Yemen that can. I’m saying that the US releasing this information is to try and apply pressure inside if there are any parties who might’ve been enticed by what’s been offered. Given that the offer is pretty much everything I do think there will be some that consider it worth taking, the question is whether they’re anywhere close to influential - probably not.
